My results were the same as you described - elimination of precancerous lesions, red spots, blotches, etc., as well as general “rejuvenation” of the skin area treated. The major difference was that the cream applied (methylaminolevulinate) was activated by sitting in outdoor daylight for 2 hours. This treatment is less painful and resolves more quickly than the indoor blue light treatment.

Day 21 on Fluorouracil cream. I was instructed to use from chest up to forehead for 21 days. After 14 days of agony burning on my chin, I stopped using on my chin, but continued on chest, neck, cheeks and forehead through day 15 & 16. I've gone through the gamut, burning, bleeding, scabbing even woke this morning with a scab on my upper lip which immediately came off and bled. My doctor gave me a choice, she said " if you don't want to use it, then go ahead and take the chance of getting melanoma". I don't consider that a choice! This has been excruciatingly painful and on top of that I've had many obligations and been out nearly everyday amongst people looking like a monster. I was told no makeup. I couldn't put make up on this cracked. bleeding, peeling, burning skin if I wanted to! Day 8 was my last shower....too painful. I can barely even wash my face or chest with all the raw, bleeding sores. I truly don't know if I've got the constitution to do this again and I'm positive my doc will want me to every year or two. I pray that nobody else has this much agony with this treatment. I can't stress enough to take precautions outdoors when you young. I doubt anyone living has been burned over my lifetime, I'm 67, more than I. I'm medium complexion & have had a deep, dark beautiful tan every summer since I was 13. Everyone compliments me on my tan. I'm finally beginning to wonder if it has been worth it. Yes, that's just how much I love tanning! I understand people have questioned my sanity! Now I'm questioning it myself!!!
